excited about that they went in with so much pressure and it was such an exciting game. i understand you were in the fan zone here in berlin. can you tell us a little bit what it was like? yeah, i mean, the amazon berlin in general is definitely football crazy. there are fans everywhere you look now yesterday i was in the fans on, in front of the parliament building, which is one of the 2 main fans zones. of course it being the 1st day, there were a little bit of kings that the police had to work out. so the actually ended up evacuating that fan zone for around 2 hours. because they found a backpack which they thought was suspicious. now they shouldn't have had backpacks because there should have been checks, but after about 2 hours, they figured out it was okay. there was no threat and everything to go forward, full fans. those were at capacity. hundreds of thousands of fans and the atmosphere was amazing. so this summer is going to be absolutely fantastic. security obviously front and center in this tournament. also, let's talk a little bit more about what we can expect to have. do you think the fact that germany has had this 1st major?

when does that bode well for me and then the rest of the tournament? definitely, so after tomorrow, germany will definitely after yesterday, sorry, germany will be considered favorites. their team is also very set up to win right now. they're one of the oldest teams in the tournament, actually if not the oldest. when we talk about tournament favorites, we can't miss friends. of course, friends is the runners up from the last world cup and they could have come into this tournament with their 3rd strings. players and still being considered the favorites. england also in their golden generation. they haven't done anything yet . there's a lot of pressure on this side now for to go with chris on rinaldo. maybe in his last tournament we never know was rinaldo croatia always strong. so definitely a lot of quality in this tournament and it's going to be absolutely fantastic. sure is daniel, thank you so much for joining us as a dynamic barcelona from dw sports as well. millions of people are expected to watch the games live in germany with millions more washing around the world. and

lounge is on the other side, if i expect expenses of 650000000 heroes, including 331000000 in price money for the competing teams. as well as the costs of key and infrastructure and salaries for the risk wave. i was expecting a profit of 1700000000 euros at his tax free due to a new agreement, the group has extracted from the german government who's missing out on 255000000 bureaus. but that's not all. the german government also pays hands simply for the privilege of hosting the tournament over 600000000 euros. the 10 host series was spend the combined 260000000 on the festivities. it cost a $165000000.00 euros to renovate stadiums. that security will be another $150000000.00 bureaus. so with all that money spent, is there a silver lining?
